St Mark’s recently celebrated its 2026 scholarship recipients at a special Scholarships Presentation Ceremony, bringing together students, donors, descendants and representatives of benefactors whose generosity helps make a St Mark’s education possible. Scholarships play a vital role in enabling students to pursue their ambitions, realise their potential and fully engage in College life. Thanks to the support of our benefactors, more than half of St Mark’s students receive scholarships, grants, prizes or bursaries that provide both financial assistance and recognition of academic excellence and leadership.
The Ceremony was a wonderful occasion filled with connection, community and purpose, with donors personally presenting certificates to recipients. Following the presentation, guests gathered for a buffet dinner, providing an opportunity for students to meet their donors, share their stories and express their gratitude.
Expanding scholarships and financial support remains one of the College’s highest priorities, helping to promote excellence, diversity and accessibility. We extend our sincere thanks to our donors and wider community for their continued support of St Mark’s. Your generosity creates life-changing opportunities for talented and hardworking students from across Australia and around the world.

On Wednesday, we gathered to raise the Pride Flag. This activity not only marked the beginning of Pride Month but also affirmed the dignity and value of every person at College and demonstrated that we stand in solidarity with and in support of q***r friends and family.
Pride Month celebrates the identities and contributions of le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, q***r, intersex, and all sexually and gender-diverse people, and is also a time to reflect on the history that brought us here and to recommit ourselves to building communities where everyone can live openly, safely, and with dignity. Pride Month reminds us that inclusion is not something we achieve once and then set aside. Like all forms of inclusivity, it must be actively nurtured.
Here at St Mark’s, we are committed to fostering an environment that is safe, respectful, and inclusive for all communities and identities.
Throwback to Netball!
Amazing effort from our women’s and men’s team who played fantastic games despite the weather.

On Wednesday, students gathered for a special dinner and guest panel to acknowledge and celebrate the beginning of National Reconciliation Week.
Our Indigenous Student Advisor, Marley, did a wonderful job curating a 3-course menu featuring native ingredients and facilitating an insightful conversation around reconciliation in action.
Thank you Marley, for your hard work, and to the Honourable Kyam Maher MLC, Deputy Premier and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Dale Agius, the Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People, Uncle Mickey O’Brien, senior Kaurna and Narungga man, and Demi Giakoumis, Specialist First Nations counsellor at Adelaide University, for attending the event and sharing your valuable insights. We are all in.
Last Friday students at the College hosted a Biggest Morning Tea event to raise money for Cancer Council Australia💛
Together, students raised $392 to support Cancer Council’s vital research, prevention, and support services.
The Charitable Foundation also launched a new initiative at the event, our very own St Mark’s Op Shop for students to buy and sell their clothing! All money raised is donated to one of this year’s charity.

St Mark’s recently held its annual Science, Technology, Engineering, Architecture and Maths Faculty Evening, which was superbly organised and hosted by Academic Coordinator Hugo Hemmings.
Guests included Old Collegians Simon Emms, Chief Executive Officer of ElectraNet, and Darren Bain, a Senior Electronic Engineer at BAE Systems; as well as Sam Carrodus, a Senior Mechanical Engineer at Silentium Defence; James Lim, a Software Engineer at Optigrid; and Gabrielle Annese, an Aerospace Engineering Consultant at Nova Systems.
The guest speakers were welcomed and introduced to the members of the faculty over drinks and canapes in the Learning Commons before joining them for a special Formal Hall.
The topics of the Q&A discussion after dinner ranged from the benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence in the workplace, navigating imposter syndrome, working in a male dominated industry as a woman, standing out as graduates, and moving into management and leadership. Growth and grit were common themes of the conversation with all guests encouraging students to lean into discomfort in order to grow and learn and impress, and not be afraid to ask questions in the workplace. The speakers all encouraged students to reach out and connect with people who can serve as mentors or offer insight into an organisation or role, and all generously offered this sort of support to our students.
Congratulations to Hugo for assembling this brilliant panel and facilitating such a successful event, and thanks to our guest speakers for so generously sharing their time and expertise and offering so much practical advice to our students.

It was another big weekend at St Mark’s College with round 2 of HTC Football.
Congratulations to our men’s team, who took home the trophy for the first time in 6 years, and to our women’s team for finishing in second place! 🏆
The College is very proud of both our teams, who performed brilliantly in tough matches.
Round 2 is Indigenous Round, and it was wonderful to see each College adorning their Indigenous guernsey. Thank you to our very own Drew Willie for designing the St Mark’s guernsey.
Our women’s team also wore rainbow ribbons in support of IDAHOBIT!
